00:00Well, thank you very much.

00:26Well, this is a nice building, I have to tell you.

00:31So this is a special occasion for a lot of reasons.

00:34But number one is it's our first occasion in this building

00:39using it for peace.

00:41And it's all about peace.

00:42And it's a great honor.

00:44And, Marco, you've done a fantastic job in getting it ready.

00:47But it's a spectacular building, and we all appreciate it.

00:53And very importantly, we're settling a war

00:55that's been going on for decades with millions

01:00and millions of people killed.

01:03And these two gentlemen spent a lot of time backstage

01:07talking to each other and over at the Oval Office.

01:09We were at the Oval Office together.

01:10It was beautiful.

01:12And I think it's just a very important day.

01:15And we have other leaders from other countries.

01:17And you said such beautiful things.

01:19I'd love to have you come up.

01:20We'll finish up.

01:21And then I'd love to have you come up.

01:23And if you can issue the words that you just issued backstage,

01:28it usually doesn't work.

01:29You know, it usually never happens.

01:31They said it much better before.

01:33But you will probably do better up here.

01:35But I'd love to have you say how you felt,

01:38because it is an amazing day.

01:40Great day for Africa.

01:42Great day for the world and for these two countries.

01:45And they have so much to be proud of.

01:48And I want to thank the leaders.

01:49I want to thank you very much.

01:51It means maybe more because we are here together

01:55for the first time ever in this building.

01:57Brand-new, beautiful building.

01:59I can't — I don't want to tell you how much it costs,

02:01because I hear it's a lot, okay?

02:03They don't build inexpensively here.

02:06But I just want to thank you very much.

02:08So, please, sit down, everybody.

02:10I want to thank everybody for being here.

02:15It's a momentous occasion.

02:16It's a truly incredible setting.

02:20It's — very few places I've seen like this.

02:24In this holy season, we prepare to celebrate

02:26the birth of the Prince of Peace.

02:29We have come to the U.S. Institute of Peace

02:33to sign a historic agreement that will end

02:35one of the longest-running conflicts anywhere in the world,

02:39with far more than 10 million people killed.

02:43Today, we commit to stopping decades of violence and bloodshed

02:46and to begin a new era of harmony and cooperation

02:49between the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda.

02:54I want to thank the two courageous leaders.

02:57They are courageous leaders.

02:59They really are courageous leaders.

03:00Great people.

03:02President Chisekite of the Democratic Republic of the Congo

03:08and President Kagame of Rwanda.

03:13They are amazing people.

03:17And they had stories to tell me that were incredible.

03:20And really fascinating in so many different ways.

03:25Sad and beautiful.

03:26Both sad and beautiful.

03:28And today makes them beautiful.

03:31I've just held really fantastic meetings

03:34with both men and representatives of other countries

03:38where we discussed the importance of upholding this new agreement.

03:43Very detailed, powerful agreement.

03:46I also want to thank several foreign guests

03:48and dignitaries in attendance

03:50to celebrate this magnificent event,

03:53including the President of Angola.

03:56Please, would you stand?

03:57And it's so great to see you.

04:04The President of Burundi.

04:06Thank you very much.

04:08Great to see you again.

04:12The President of Kenya.

04:16We have the Olympics here.

04:17You know, they do very well in the Olympics.

04:21Those runners, I don't know what the heck you do with those runners.

04:24But they are very good.

04:26I've been watching them for a long time.

04:28So we have the Olympics coming to the United States.

04:30You know that.

04:31Thank you very much.

04:31And you'll come as our guest.

04:34And the President of the Council of Ministers of Togo.

04:40Thank you very much.

04:44The Vice President of Uganda.

04:52It's such a beautiful color.

04:53Like, all these guys are wearing these dark suits.

04:56You just stand out for a lot of reasons.

04:58You're beautiful.

05:01The Foreign Ministers of Qatar.

05:06Thank you very much.

05:07Say hello to my friend, a great man.

05:12And the United Arab Emirates.

05:19My regards, right?

05:20And the Chairman of the African Union Commission, who's done a fantastic job.

05:27And thank you for all your help.

05:28We appreciate all your help.

05:30A special group of people.

05:32A very special thanks, as well, to Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

05:37Marco, please stand.

05:39And thank you for putting a certain name on that building.

05:45I came, I said, boy, that is beautiful.

05:47That blew up last night.

05:48They said, that's a great honor.

05:51It really is.

05:52On this building, it's a great honor.

05:53Thank you very much.

05:54I assume you had a lot to do with that.

05:56Just a little bit, yeah.

05:59Appreciate it.

06:00And Senior Advisor for Africa, Mossad Boulos, who's been fantastic.

06:05Thank you, Mossad.

06:06All of these people, every one of them, were indispensable in forging this agreement.

06:11Let me also recognize Senators Mike Rounds and Lindsey Graham.

06:15Lindsey, thank you.

06:17Mike, wherever you may be.

06:20Thank you, Mike.

06:20Representative Ronny Jackson.

06:24Where's Ronny?

06:25Ronny is a great guy.

06:27He won his race in Texas by 48 points.

06:30Right, Ronny?

06:31I don't have to ask if he's in any — I don't even have to endorse him anymore.

06:35It doesn't matter.

06:36Save the paper.

06:37Right?

06:38Great job.

06:39Chris Smith.

06:40Chris?

06:41Thank you, Chris.

06:43Great.

06:44Good job.

06:45Trent Kelly?

06:46Trent?

06:47Thank you very much.

06:51And the Acting President of the Institute for Peace, Darren Beattie.

06:56Thank you, Darren, very much.

06:58Thank you very much, Darren.

07:01For more than 30 years, one of the worst conflicts on Earth has been raging in Eastern

07:07Congo.

07:08Millions and millions of people have been tragically killed — went on forever — and countless

07:14more have been displaced from their homes.

07:16Families have been destroyed.

07:17It's been a disaster.

07:19Many administrations have tried, but probably not too hard, knowing who preceded me.

07:27But they've tried.

07:28It says they've tried.

07:29But we tried harder to end this conflict.

07:33But they've accomplished — obviously, they accomplished very little, because the killing

07:38went on at levels that just got worse and worse.

07:41And today, we're succeeding, where so many others have failed.

07:45And this has become the eighth war that we've ended in less than one year.

07:50Such an exciting thing to do.

07:52This has been a really — because we're talking about 30 years of fighting — 30 years,

07:57much more than 10 million lives.

07:59Last June, thanks to the efforts of Secretary Rubio and Mr. Boulos, Rwanda and the DRC reached

08:08a landmark agreement to move toward peace.

08:12They started the process.

08:13I met with some of their great representatives who are here also.

08:17And we started a great process.

08:20The compact we're signing today, which will be known as the Washington Accords — everybody

08:25sort of liked that name — formalizes the terms agreed to in June, including a permanent

08:31ceasefire, the disarmament of non-state forces, provisions for refugees to return to their

08:38homes, and justice and accountability for those who have committed illegal atrocities.

08:45Very importantly, this agreement also creates a new framework for economic prosperity.

08:49There's tremendous wealth in those — in that beautiful earth.

08:53It's a beautiful earth.

08:54But it was stained badly with blood — tremendous amounts of blood.

08:59But in the region, they will support a lasting peace.

09:02And the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Rwanda have agreed to more closely integrate

09:08their economies with each other rather than fighting.

09:12And they'll be doing that.

09:13And these two gentlemen are very smart.

09:16And I think they liked each other a lot.

09:20I spent time with them.

09:21I think they liked — some people may be surprised.

09:24I really do.

09:25I think they've spent a lot of time killing each other.

09:31And now they're going to spend a lot of time hugging, holding hands, and taking advantage

09:36of the United States of America economically, like every other country does.

09:41So they're going to do very well.

09:43But they do have some valuable — some very valuable things.

09:47They're going to have a lot of money and a lot of success.

09:50And I think they're going to get along really well.

09:53So I hope so.

09:54Thank you very much.

09:55Look at them.

09:56Look at the way they love each other.

10:06So I have a lot of confidence in both leaders.

10:08We'll keep these commitments.

10:11I know they're going to keep them and follow through on the agreement and create a much brighter

10:15future for the people of their countries.

10:17And they're heroes within their countries because of today.

10:20And a lot of — this is a big story.

10:22And so much is being written and said.

10:26All of the newscasts have it at the top of the list.

10:29And they are heroes.

10:31And we want to keep it that way.

10:33Today, the United States is also signing our own bilateral agreements with the Congo

10:38and Rwanda that will unlock new opportunities for the United States to access critical minerals

10:44and provide economic benefits for everybody.

10:48And we'll be involved.

10:49We're sending some of our biggest and greatest companies over to the two countries.

10:56And we're going to take out some of the rare earth and take out some of the assets and pay.

11:02And everybody's going to make a lot of money.

11:05These are just two of the many new agreements related to mineral supplies that my administration has achieved this year,

11:12including with Australia, Japan, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, South Korea, and many other countries.

11:21And with all of these agreements, we're forging new economic security partnerships

11:26that protect the interests of America and our friends and partners.

11:29And a core feature of my administration's national security strategy,

11:33a big part of which is the tariffs.

11:35We're taking in trillions of dollars in tariffs.

11:38Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

11:40And it's given us really great national security.

11:44We'll be paying down debt.

11:46We'll be making distributions to people.

11:49And we're really — we're really doing a job.

11:54It's amazing.

11:55I was with a gentleman, the future king of Saudi Arabia.

12:00And you've heard me say this a couple of times.

12:03But two months ago, when I was over there, he said —

12:08and actually Qatar is represented today, and you — UAE is represented.

12:13And your leader said the exact same thing — different words, but the exact same thing.

12:17That one year ago, they thought our country was dead.

12:21And now our country is the hottest country anywhere in the world.

12:24We're the hottest country anywhere in the world.

12:26Nobody's ever seen anything like it.

12:28We have over $18 trillion — that's just in 10 months — pledged or being invested

12:35or pledged to be invested in the United States.

12:38Think of that — $18 trillion.

12:40The highest amount we've ever had is one and a half.

12:43Under the Biden administration, they did much less than one in four years.

12:47Think of that.

12:48So they did less than $1 trillion in four years.

12:51We have $18 trillion in 10 months.

12:53It's going to be much more than that, too.

12:55No other country in history has ever been closed, no matter what country you pick.

13:00So I want to thank you again, everybody, for your great vision.

13:05And I want to thank the people, especially the people that we named — some of the others

13:11that, unfortunately, we didn't name.

13:13We just couldn't do that.

13:15But for your vision and for your courage, because it's made it possible to begin healing old wounds

13:22and transcending past differences and creating a future where every child of God can live in dignity, prosperity, and peace.

13:30And these are two very good men, and they're two very — potentially very strong countries.

13:37I'd like to now invite President Kagume to come up and say a few words.

13:44It's Rwanda.

13:45And then, if I may, President of DRC, who really is doing a great job.

13:52These are two men that are doing a great job.

13:54And, again, they are so respected because of what they're doing today and the mission that they've really, I think, accomplished.

14:03And we'll see how it all works out, but I think it's going to work out really great.

14:07They want to get on to other ways of living for their people and their great leaders.

14:12Thank you very much.

14:13Please, Mr. President.

14:16Thank you very much.
